🔥#TOANG_MẠNH: LOST 6.9 MILLION USD DUE TO BUYING "BARGAIN" COLD WALLET ON CHINESE TIKTOK!
🔥Just hearing it makes the wallet hurt. Saving a few hundred, losing a whole career – a costly lesson for crypto enthusiasts!
A crypto enthusiast in China was completely drained of 6.9 million USD in just a few hours after buying a "sealed, authentic, super bargain" cold wallet from Douyin Shop – the commerce platform of TikTok in China.
📌
Why do many crypto enthusiasts still fall for cold wallet traps?
1. The saving mentality of "industry insiders": Once you play crypto, you often think you know everything, so when you see a "good price" cold wallet, especially with the label "sealed," many think they are getting a deal, but unexpectedly get played.
2. Lack of basic security knowledge: Despite hundreds of similar cases, many still think that buying offline = safe, not anticipating that the hardware could be "pre-hacked" right from the manufacturing stage.
🚨
Final advice for everyone:
👉
NEVER buy a cold wallet from unknown sources, even if it's a few hundred dollars cheaper.
👉
ONLY BUY directly from the manufacturer (Ledger, Trezor...) or authorized official dealers.
👉
Always check the firmware and INITIALIZE THE PRIVATE KEY on the device, absolutely do not use keys that are "pre-printed" or stuck outside!
